Tomorrow is the first day of Fall and what better way to bring in this new season than with shimmering fallen leaves by Neat & Tangled. These oak leaves from the Oak Leaf stamp and die set are sooo pretty! And you can use them in so many ways.

It is that time of year where we start thinking about pumpkins, ghosts, and other ghoulish things… what fun!! I just love all the vibrant, intense colors you get to use for this time of year. This card certainly uses a bunch!

Today is another card to celebrate Autumn. I have been enjoying making cards with an Autumn theme so much lately that I thought I should keep going while I still have Mojo!

I don’t know if you are like me but sometimes I struggle with inspiration but the Fall and Winter are my favorite times of the year so ideas and inspiration aren’t as hard to come by during these seasons.

Whether you celebrate Thanksgiving in Canada (today) or in the U.S. (in November), it is a wonderful day to spend with family and friends. And for all those that you can’t be with on that momentous day, it is a great time to send a special card to let them know you are thinking of them.

The card we are presenting today is done by the extremely talented, Heather Telford of Bits and Pieces blog (www.cards.heathertelford.com). Heather is renowned for exquisite watercolor projects and this Thanksgiving card is no exception. She has created a vision of beauty using the Penny Black Grateful Stamp Set and Peerless Watercolors. She has even created a video on how she created her watercolor paletted and used her Peerless Watercolors. It is simply brilliant. Be sure you don’t miss it. It is featured after her card below.

Today is a red-letter day for all of us at Foiled Fox! Laurel Beard and the kind peeps at Lawnscaping Challenge are featuring many of our projects today on their blog. Be sure to go and check it out.

Their blog is always bursting with creative ideas and projects by some very talented folk.

In the meantime, here is a close-up of one of the cards. Since Fall is nearly upon us who else is better to usher in Autumn than the cuddly forest Lawn Fawn squirrel from the Jump For Joy stamp set. This adorable squirrel was just achin’ to jump into that big pile of leaves so I had to make it happen. You just need to move the clear acetate lever at the bottom of the card so Mr. Squirrel gets his wish.
